My thoughts on Electric Lucifer:
the first track rules. like a bunch of electronic birds grooving, with some extra weird blips.
I dig the ominous sounds that open the second track, I don't really care for the spoken word over it but then we get nice harmonic singing with more great electronic pulses and buzzing.
I really like the muffled percussion that kicks off the third track. And the tinkling sounds too, they give great texture. There's also something that sounds like a distorted organ which I'm into. I like this in the same way as I often like psychedelic or oriental music. I don't really care for the melody here but who cares if there's so much else going on.
Hell yes then we get sweepy broom percussion and drony sounds. White noise. A baroque electronic bit like Bach on a synth. Heavily distorted clown music. Hypnotic eeriness. And we're only 12 minutes in at this point lol.
What follows is a pretty straightforward song, but through electronic distortion like it comes from under water.
Again some amazing percussion for the next song, which actually appears to be a distorted string instrument, a guitar? This grooves really hard.
I like the didgeridoo sounds on the next track, and the way it keeps changing its mind about what chord it's in.
The next song sounds a bit like a 1967 George Harrisson concoction.
What follows is the first one I don't get enthusiastic about. Meh to lyrics like 'universe.. one poem...love...' or that it tries to teach me how to spell 'devil'.
The multi-layered chaos of the next track is great. Then spooky wind sounds. More great percussion. This sounds quite like typical psychedelic music, but at its very best. The vocals should have been scrapped though.
After all that, it's a good choice to sound quiet, with a few bells and voices. It develops into a straightforward melody, with more groovyness, and then it swerves back in a great organic way towards psychedelia, and back again.
Really great, groovy, whimsical album. 9/10
